From "A collection of glees and catches for three and four voices, As they are performed at the Noblemen and Gentlemen's Catch Club. Never before printed."

Lyrics: Anacreon (trans. Francis Fawkes)

Bacchus, Jove's delightful boy,Gen'rous god of wine and joy,Still exhilarates my soulWith the rapture of the bowl.Then with feather'd feet I bound,Dancing in a festive round;Then I feel, in sparkling wine,Transports delicate, divine.Then the sprightly music warms,Songs delight and beauty charms;Free and easy, light and gay,Thus I charm the hours away.
